1Front-original drift bottle What can it do? Back to the top
[PConline chat] suddenly saw the announcement of "pause of drifting bottle function" in WeChat pie. When I saw the title, the editor knew that this originally popular function was slowly forgotten by users because of some things. It finally ruined a group of black industrial chains! What is a drift bottle? What caused it to be suspended? Editor Rong said in detail.

What can it do from the drift bottle?
drift bottle is a small additional feature launched by QQ mailbox in September 2010. The purpose is to allow users to have a place to vent similar to a tree hole and a place to make strange friends. Later, Tencent brought it into WeChat and became an additional function of WeChat. When the bottle thrown by the user is responded, a temporary chat window will be established, and both parties can chat instantly, which can be text, voice and pictures, but can only keep the last dozen chat records.

drift bottle function has once brought many users to Tencent. So what can this once popular product do? Let’s take a look at what the drift bottles used to do!
Use drift bottles to make tree holes : Many users use drift bottle functions to tell their secrets in their hearts. Just like a tree hole, it is a platform for telling things that they don’t want acquaintances to know through drift bottles and then throwing them to strangers. People also use it to express their love, complain about dissatisfaction, use it to describe their thoughts, use it to make a wish, and use it to describe their mood. At that time, the water area where the drift bottle was still clean.

drift bottle tie red line: Another function of drift bottle is to make strangers. A feature of drift bottle is that if you set the gender, the bottle you caught is thrown out by the opposite sex, and the bottle you throw out will be received by the opposite sex, which gives the user a way to make strangers with the opposite sex. It’s late at night and when I’m lonely, throw a drifting bottle and wait for a response. Maybe you can find a stranger who can chat with the opposite sex all night, and you’re having a lot of fun!
When facing strangers, you can chat with each other about things that are inconvenient to chat with acquaintances, which meets people's needs for confidence and anonymous socialization. You can’t say it, some users have really made friends and found a soulmate using the drift bottle, but it is a minority after all!
Of course, you can also use a drift bottle to peel it!

2 drift bottle is suspended. Who's the fault? Back to the top
drift bottle is suspended, who has failed? The drift bottle
, which was maliciously used. At present, Tencent has issued an announcement to suspend the drift bottle function, so there is a drift bottle in WeChat, but only starfish can be retrieved. Why did the drift bottle end up like this? This is closely related to its malicious use!
Figure 6 Announcement of suspending the drift bottle Figure 7 No one can get the
product. The original intention of this bottle is good, but in recent years, it has been damaged by the black industry chain, resulting in many users who get the bottles and the responses they get when using the drift bottle function are not sent by normal netizens, but information such as fraud, social situation, and gambling.
However, as Zhang Xiaolong quotes Kevin Kelly 's view in "Out of Control" analysis: after the application is put on, it has its own life, it will interact with a large number of users, and what kind of interaction results and group effects will be formed in the end is beyond our control.
Take the information of the drift bottle retrieved a while ago and received a reply as an example, among which there are the following types.
Type of lonely young woman: her husband is not at home, empty and lonely and cold.
Poor girls look for part-time jobs: students have no money to use, you know how to work part-time jobs.
Make some pocket money: If you give it money, I will post a selfie. You give the money, I pose!
will bring you into the group to get benefits: there are benefits to join the group.Or you are asked to join the QQ group, but you will be charged for joining the group!
sends you a link: using the link jump vulnerability, the web page will automatically jump to a paid video website, allowing users to pay to watch pornographic videos. The bottles obtained from
or above are all pornographic and fraudulent information. Some netizens also reported that some people invited you to the gambling group and some people invited you to work part-time, but the editor has never met them. By the way, I have also encountered people who do micro-businesses.
Figure 8 A bunch of bottles are all pornographic fraud
and there is also. The editor also met a very perseverant liar in the drifting bottle. After adding the editor, he greeted the editor every day, asked about his well-being, and said nothing else. Then he just posted a message on his friends that her relatives were hospitalized, and then he told the editor a month later that he asked for money.
The black industry chain takes advantage of netizens’ "curiosity" about the opposite sex, especially the singles, who use seduction methods to defraud money. In the drifting bottle, male users can easily get or get the so-called selfie sales news. The tempted netizens will give money as soon as they are hot. As a result, after giving the money, the video they get is indeed not known which porn website they downloaded, and they are even blocked directly! After the volunteers took the bait, further fraud began! And you think the other person is a woman, but in fact he may be a big man or even just a robot! From the editor's test, it can be seen that it is obvious that a gang controls a bunch of WeChat accounts and engages in pornographic fraud.
It is said that a mature part-time training system for drifting bottles has also been developed, and many of the applicants are college students. Applicants need to change the gender of their WeChat account to female, start throwing the bottle at 10 pm, and greet strangers based on a specially screened, sexually suggestive, high-response speech of drift bottles, and then throw out the corresponding hyperlink and QR code to join the group.

And these selfie videos are pornographic videos. The characters in the video are naked and provocative poses, which makes the otaku fall into it, unable to extricate themselves, and can't wait to give money. A knife on the head of the word "Se"!
Figure 10 The so-called selfie
also means to bring you into the group. After entering the group, you can watch several welfare videos for free. Want to watch more? Pay the money? Otherwise, you will go and pull people into the group, and when you recruit people, you will become an accomplice.
Figure 11 Drifting Bottle Dialogue
In addition to pornographic information, there are also fraudulent information, which deceives users to do part-time jobs, so-called Taobao order brushing. The so-called recruitment of typists, the so-called helping you open an online store, a series of popular online scams have also moved the black industry chain into the drift bottle. I don’t even know where to steal the daily selfies of the beautiful young lady. With these selfies, I can catch many people who are willing to take the bait. The editor has read the news and used the daily selfies of beauties collected online to successfully defraud several boys of their money.
So, the drifting bottle was broken by the black industry chain. Not to mention that the bottles that users can get and the reply they receive are mostly the above content, while the bottles thrown out by female users are obtained by some male users who are unbearable to the verbal teasing, and even verbal sexual harassment, which can only be blocked. Over time, fewer and fewer users are playing drift bottles seriously, but more and more people are not serious, and dark bottles are floating on the shore of drift bottles. In this way, the drift bottles slowly turn into garbage dumps! The purpose of using drift bottles has also changed, becoming literary X, sexual encounters, and appointments.
and the last one throwing a bomb at the drift bottle might be the " Mercenary ". It is said that a user pretended to be a mercenary in Syrian while playing with drift bottles, and claimed that he would go to the battlefield tomorrow and would probably not be able to come back, so as to win the other party's sympathy and eventually trick the other party into nude photos. Then it triggered mercenaries everywhere!
Since the nature of the drift bottle has undergone qualitative changes, why doesn’t Tencent care about it? Perhaps, Tencent has control, but it cannot control it. The black industry chain continues to use various methods to evade Tencent's blockade, such as using Mars, and after attracting a group, a new group will soon be created to avoid Tencent's blockade supervision.
Summary
Now, the sea surface of the drifting bottle has been severely contaminated, and it is time to clean it up properly. Now, WeChat’s announcement only says “pause” to the function of drift bottles, but when will it be paused? Tencent didn't say it! Will it be re-activated? The editor is a bit overwhelmed. Unless Tencent can come up with a good way to deal with the above problems, this feature that is not very profitable but will cause trouble will mostly be abandoned by Tencent.
